Abstract
Wind power generation has become a significant component of the generation portfolio in a number of power systems worldwide. Moreover, the development of wind generation will be continued as the implementation of policies aimed at fighting the climate change requires the increase of use of renewable energy sources in power generation. Grid integration is a major issue that affects the massive development of wind generation. This chapter discusses how generator technology affects grid integration of wind generation. Wind generators based on squirrel cage and doubly fed induction machines and multi-pole synchronous machines will be reviewed. The performance with respect to stability, load-frequency and reactive power–voltage control is discussed.
